TLDR
Usability inspection is the generic name for a set of costeffective ways of evaluating user interfaces to find usability problems.Abstract:
Usability inspection is the generic name for a set of costeffective ways of evaluating user interfaces to find usability problems. They are fairly informal methods and easy to use.read more

Usability Engineering
TL;DR: This guide to the methods of usability engineering provides cost-effective methods that will help developers improve their user interfaces immediately and shows you how to avoid the four most frequently listed reasons for delay in software projects.

A mathematical model of the finding of usability problems
Jakob Nielsen,Thomas K. Landauer +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that the detection of usability problems as a function of number of users tested or heuristic evaluators employed is well modeled as a Poisson process, which can be used to plan the amount of evaluation required to achieve desired levels of thoroughness or benefits.

Affordance, conventions, and design
TL;DR: I was quietly lurking in the background of a CHI-Web discussion, when I lost all reason: I just couldn't take it anymore, and out came this article: I don't know if it changed anyone's minds, but it brought the discussion to a halt (not what good list managers want to happen).

What is beautiful is usable

TL;DR: The results resemble those found by social psychologists regarding the effect of physical attractiveness on the valuation of other personality attributes and stress the importance of studying the aesthetic aspect of human–computer interaction (HCI) design and its relationships to other design dimensions.

Heuristic evaluation of user interfaces
Jakob Nielsen,Rolf Molich +1 more
TL;DR: Four experiments showed that individual evaluators were mostly quite bad at doing heuristic evaluations and that they only found between 20 and 51% of the usability problems in the interfaces they evaluated.

Enhancing the explanatory power of usability heuristics
TL;DR: A new set of nine heuristics were derived: visibility of system status, match between system and the real world, user control and freedom, consistency and standards, error prevention, recognition rather than recall, flexibility and efficiency of use, aesthetic and minimalist design, and helping users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors.
